The jokes in 'Rasputin' are rarely funny, and the attempts that it makes at pulling off some adult humour, are excruciating. Susheel (Vinay Fort), his cousin Radha (Sreenath Bhasi) and a neighbour Gopalan (Aju Varghese) have grown up together, and have finally landed in a metro where they work as software engineers. While Radha has evolved into a playboy of sorts, Susheel and Gopalan are still lying in wait for some pretty fish to bite their baits.When you take one hard look at it, 'Rasputin' reveals itself as being bereft of a tale, and merely talks of two sexually frustrated youngsters who badly want to have some fun. In striking contrast, is a third one, who despite his petite looks seems to be having a ball, much to the chagrin of the other two.It does strike us as a bit strange that these three young boys in a village school look upon none else than Rasputin, as a legend, since the Russian hero isn't that common a name in this part of the world.

Susheelan (Vinay Fort) nicknamed Sushi, Gopalan called Gopas (Aju Varghese), and Radhenathan (Sreenath Bhasi) called Radhs are software engineers. They are friends from their childhood days. But they differ in their character. Susheelan is an introvert who is always tensed. He has no guts to do anything alone and even fears to talk to women. Radhenathan has a contrast character. He is always in the company of women. He enjoys life in every way and does not like to do any job. Gopalan wears thick glass spectacles which he has to wear due to hereditary. He avoids contact with others due to this. He wants to get rid of it to be close with others. Sushi and Radhs are more intimate and are not much intimate to Gopas. Radhs wants Sushi to change his character and perceptions and he acquaints Sushi with Dr Sumitha (Vandhana) for the same. Sumitha’s presence makes a complete change in Sushi’s life and he starts to see life in a new light. At the same time Radhenathan begins to fear life. The following events in the life of these three friends are plotted in ‘Rasputin’. Directed by debutante Jinu G Daniel, ‘Rasputin’ is produced by E P Varghese under the banner of Blue Moon Pictures. Rafeeq Ahmed and Arun Narayanan’s lines are tuned by Robi Abraham. Hari Nair is the cinematographer.
